Reporting and Non-Productive Time

NOTE: This information applies to the Non-Productive View in the Plant Applications Administrator program. For information about the Non-Productive Time view display in the Plant Applications Client, click here.

On certain reports, the Filter Out Non-Productive Time option can be selected when configuring the report. If the Filter Out Non-Productive Time option is selected, events that occur during non-productive time, including the non-productive time period, will be excluded from the report. If this option is not selected, events that occur during non-productive time will be included in the report and the non-productive time will be ignored.

In the simple examples below, if the Filter Out Non-Productive Time option is selected on a downtime report, total operating time equals 360 minutes (540 – 180) and total downtime equals 120 minutes because everything that occurs during the non-productive time is ignored.

NPT not filtered out

Total Operating Time = 540 mins.

Total Downtime = 180 mins.

Total Uptime = 360 mins.

MTTR = 60 mins. (180 / 3)

MTBF = 90 mins. (360 / 4)

NPT filtered out

Total Operating Time = 360 mins.

Total Downtime = 120 mins.

Total Uptime = 240 mins

MTTR = 60 mins. (120 / 2))

MTBF = 80 mins. (240 / 3)

By default, if an event occurs during non-productive time, (NPT) will be displayed next to the event information. This text is controlled by a site parameter. For more information, please see NPTCharacterFlag.
